Injured during a routine training, Christian Lohsen suffered a very nasty injury. So much so that he had to be operated on to remove a very expensive part of the male anatomy …
There are some sports that are more dangerous than others, and those who practice it are well aware that they sometimes run serious risks. While sports like rugby or American football can cause serious damage in the long run, others can be fatal or cause serious damage fairly quickly. This is particularly the case of MMA (mixed martial arts), a very violent combat sport where almost anything is allowed. A discipline long banned in France and which is starting to become popular, especially with the help of reality TV personalities.
To reach the best level, practitioners must train almost daily while taking significant physical effort and sometimes the injury happens unexpectedly. This is what happened to Christian Lohsen, a young American fighter a few days ago. During an exercise, he receives a violent blow of the knee between the two legs and the continuation turns into a nightmare. “Last night was difficult … during a training accident, my left testicle ruptured under the effect of a knee, which resulted in its surgical removal “, he wrote in comment of a photo of him on his hospital bed posted on his account Instagram.
If you hit me in my last testicle, we’re not friends
The 26-year-old fighter has 9 wins for two losses since the start of his career and according to him, this very disabling incident should not have too much of an impact on his career. “The operation went well. The doctor said I won’t lose testosterone or the ability to have children because of it. If I lose the other on the other hand, that’s another story. So from now on if you hit me in my last testicle we’re not friends … lol “, he concludes his message. In the photo, we can see him rather positive even if he seems weakened after the operation.
A terrible injury therefore, but Christian Lohsen does not seem downcast by the loss of his testicle and he hopes to resume fighting soon.
